OSI is completely dead.  Any school that still teaches OSI should be 
shot!   Others already gave you the answer, but for the rest of the 
Listserv members, one thing to watch out for is IPv6 resolutions.  Some 
flavors of Unix now default to IPv6 resolution first.  So you end up 
wasting time by doing AAAA lookups instead of A records.

Just something to look out for when troubleshooting issues.
